Flowbeeee

so, got sick of my hair today but instead of making a haircutting appointment I just went into the closet and pulled out the ol' Flowbee. It worked out great. See for yerself!

Merry Halloween everybody!

So, I just discovered the greatest Halloween film ever, 'Kenny & Co.' directed by Don Phantasm Coscorelli. It's about three friends counting down the days till Halloween in the valley in the 70's. I can't think of a film ever that has more moments in it that nail what it was to be a kid. Pretty perfect. Netflix it now!

Hertzfeldt interview...

So, Eric and I watched 'Everything Will Be Ok' latelatelate Saturday night/Sunday morning again and in my inebriated state almost made me cry. I can't stress enough what a wonderful film Don Hertzfeldt has created and command you all to give him your money and watch it ( bitterfilms.com ). Anyways, found a great 3-part interview with the man. go here...

(i didn't do this drawing btw)

...anyways pulling a late-nighter on freelance and am currently away from my first love, a five foot squid and whale that is proving to be a whopper. it's almost impossible to paint orange and red on black but Souther and Seonna had much advice that turned out to be correct. Ag. Back to freelance...

Ware + Movies

Chris Ware just did this beautiful poster for 'The Savages' the new movie starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney. SO pritty...

HOLY weekend!

This had to be the funnest Halloween I can remember (and it's not even over yet).
Spent earlt Saturday night at the MOCA for the Takashi Murakami show. For those who don't know (I assume you do) Takashi is probably Japan's biggest pop artist, think Japanese Andy Warhol (?). I've never seen anything this big in my entire life as far as gallery shows go. 10,000 people showed up and the gallery was big enough to support that demand. It was like being at Disneyland. The pieces were just huge, colorful and so much fun.

here's me meeting the man along with friends, Jessica, Katie, Gary and Luke. I started talking to Takashi and he was very polite and nodded and said, "Yes, yes" but then I realised he doesn't speak English. Whoops!



here's a few images from the show I pulled (they were very strict about not taking photos of the art) the first one was my absolute favorite for the show. Robotech + Vagina...






...then rushed home to get in costume. Eric and I went as Jemaine and Bret from Flight of the Conchords. We were a bit skeptical if the costume would work until we got to the parties and every single person we talked to seemed pretty excited about it. We got to bed by Sunday morn in time to see the sun come up and nursed some SERIOUS hangovers yesterday but sucked it up and went to the next event last night and were able to lose the drink shakes with a lil 'hair-o-the-dog' which worked perfectly.
Oh, here we are...

70's toys...

I just discovered the greatest site - http://www.plaidstallions.com/ - it showcases beautiful 70's photos of toy aisles/ads etc. SO many memories came rushing back to me with every click. Enjoy all...



ps - i love Cartman...
